This might be an unpopular opinion! But there are some really bad people out there. The situation is getting out of hand here in Melbourne and there are people like this family who're Covid positive and still out and about in the community. We should blame selfish people like these for such measures from the government. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/melbourne/article-9964173/M...
Citizens need to enforce and assert their rights there before it's too late.
We just had hundreds of thousands of people go to the beach yesterday ignoring lockdown orders, I was worried about my country having read things like Gulag Archipelago, but the general population have shown where their line is.

From TFA: >Downloading and using the G2G app is voluntary in WA [Western Australia], but the Government encourages people to use it So not enforced, right...? (EDIT: my bad, this refers to an existing app; the new app sounds like it would be a mandated download)

Did you never learn that the definition of a government includes having a monopoly on violence? Australia would essentially become a failed state with your suggestion, and I don't exactly think the government is just going to let that happen.

The people aren’t to blame for an extreme government overreach.
"... following a selective tender process in November" Remarkably slow process given that we are dealing with a pandemic. Worth pointing out that "Australian gov to use" should read "South Australian gov to use" (South Australia being a state of Australia). EDIT: As this thread is attracting attention from people who have views different from my own I'd just like to make it clear that I'm in favour of controlling the…

Australia is already on its way to being a failed state by now. Police and military patrol the streets to enforce rules, “papers please” tyranny is required to live, and soon they’ll demand complete surveillance and control in your own house.
